Despite The Odds Being Slim, Bidding For The Chartering Of Petrobras’ P-78 And P-79 Units Brings Hope To Brazilian Shipowners

Among the main points of Petrobras’ strategic plan, focusing on its resources in the pre-salt and optimizing revenue is a priority for the state-owned company. The latter, as everyone knows, has directly impacted Brazilian shipbuilding, as large projects for the construction of FPSO platforms are much cheaper abroad (especially in shipyards on the Asian continent).

With the bids for the construction of the P-78 and P-79 units launched in 2020 and currently in progress, hope arises that Petrobras will once again look toward national shipbuilding, especially regarding job creation, which is a primary demand for those who are professionals restricted to this sector.

Diversification of Services, Less Dependence on Petrobras

In a not-so-distant past, Brazilian shipbuilding was heavily dependent on demands from Petrobras. Nowadays, there are several projects and technological innovations underway. Some recent examples include:

Construction of 6 More Tugs at the Wilson Sons Shipyard
The Prosub Submarine Program of the Brazilian Navy
Ecovix Shipyard
Navy Frigates Project in Itajaí
Among others that you can follow in the Naval Industry, Ports, and Shipyards section of the CPG Portal.

P-78 and P-79 will be implemented in the massive Búzios field, currently the most important pre-salt asset of Petrobras. They will be high-specification units that will be part of the Basic Reference Project, adopting new technologies and the state-owned company’s commitment to low carbon emissions. The expectation is that these platforms will begin operations in 2025.
